We determined the genetic structure of Acartia tonsa using sequences of the mtCOI gene obtained from 58 specimens collected on the Brazilian coast. Variations in the sequences discriminated three distinct lineages, with genetic distances of 6-16%. The genetic structuring observed in the Brazilian A. tonsa populations indicates that they are heterogeneous.
